Maple & Walnut Box

This is my first attempt at a box. I was asked to build this box urn after a freind’s dog passed away. I have built “you can do this” style projects before and various shop appliances but never a piece by request. I used birds eye maple and walnut. The top fits into the bottom trim and secures with brass screws. I finished with five coats of gloss poly, wet sanded between coats and a final coat of past wax buffed to a high shine. There are several things I would do differently now that it is complete, but my friend was very happy with it.
